Of course, in such a case the content of the record is going to be read by a robot, but it will still be in human-readable form. A TXT record is furthermore employed when you enable the so-called SPF protection for your emails in order to prevent them from being forged. In such a case, the record contains info showing that a certain electronic message is sent from a dependable and authorized mail server. You may use a TXT record for any kind of other information as well, just like your business details, for instance.
